The morning before a wedding can be quite the special ritual for a bride, and this beautiful shoot by JAKE ANDERSON takes us through this intentional journey of solitude prior to the celebration. Starting off with a tranquil and peaceful spell in a garden it's idyllic in very nature. Stylist and florist Tiffany from FORAGED FLORAL tells us, "This period represents newness, peace, tranquility, and carries with it a sense of solitude; a sense which is often lost in the busy preoccupation prefacing the hours before a wedding. Our story follows the bride, who has allowed herself this time of purposeful peace to reflect, meditate, and ponder the new season of life she is about to enter. The vows she has written to her loved one offer guidance to this meditation, and she finds the gardens and fields surrounding her home offer the stillness which she desires for this."

Part two of the shoot details the nuances and character of the actual wedding. "We had so much fun shooting part two of our set, as we were able to be without the pressure of losing light. The feeling of comfort and peace, which also accompanied, and is a result of, a team coming together in an understanding way to create a cohesive and seamless set of details, was incredible. The gardens and landscape surrounding our gorgeous venue at THE FARM AT DOVER offered an incredible selection of backdrops, but we focused on the ones which most poignantly depicted the character of our bride: strong and intentional, but with just enough free spirit to insinuate an innocent loveliness.
